When Internet Celebrities have the "free pass" to insult people

I Just saying an example. It is not only for Metal Gear really. And I am not saying the game will be great. I just want to say to wait and see. That all.

Another good example will be the "I Hate Everything" Guy [don't know his name]. He constantly create Hate videos and insult people just because they like them. Yes, it is his style, I get it, but for god shake almighty he continue insulting people even if he see clearly some people get really hurt with his words by posting videos with their comments.....
Not cool man, not cool.

Haven't seen or heard of that hate-everything guy, but if he really refers to himself as that for an identity, then I'd advise just leaving them to it and focusing on what you personally enjoy, as that seems like an immature self-restricting identifier and would get quite tiresome pretty quickly, best to let them stew in their own forced bitterness

Actually, I Hate Everything is more about calling out the flaws of some popular things (such as that Damn Daniel meme a few months back, superhero films or Musical.ly) usually coming to the conclusion of "I don't see the point but if you like it, you do you". Also his movie reviews are just hilarious. I'd say check it out.

I...would imagine that internet celebrities have just as much leeway to insult people as any of us do right now.

They're just people on the internet. They say all the stuff that we say. They just get more attention. If anything, that attention increases their accountability. If some random jacksock walks in here and tells us that Anita Sarkeesian molested him while wearing a Ghostbusters costume, the worst he gets is banned. He's not going to get hate mail. His career isn't in jeopardy.

Internet celebrities rely entirely on the goodwill of their viewers for their continued prosperity and fame. Every time they butcher one of gaming's sacred cows, they risk that goodwill. They have much more at stake than any of us do, as far as I'm concerned.

That doesn't mean Bob Chipman can't go to hell, though.
